Maintenance
Clean the dehumidifier and pre-filter regularly to maintain performance
and efficiency and to prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the
dehumidifier from the power outlet before cleaning.
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the body clean. If necessary, use lukewarm
water to dampen a cloth to clean the unit. Use a soft bristle brush and
vacuum cleaner to clean between the air intake and exhaust vents.
Never use abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents,
chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solvents that may damage
the cabinet exterior.
Never spray water directly on the unit.
Clean the pre-filter periodically to prolong the unit’s life, and keep the unit
running efficiently. Lint, dust, and dirt can clog the unit and reduce its
performance and effectiveness. If the unit is used in a dusty environment
you may need to clean the pre-filter on a weekly basis.
To clean the pre-filter, follow the steps below:
1.
Power off the unit, remove the water bucket and then remove the
pre-filter as shown below.
2.
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust
and dirt, then rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water
(below 104°F). You may use a mild soap and water solution if
needed. Allow the pre-filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place.
Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
3.
Reinsert the pre-filter.
Warning
: Never operate the unit without the pre-filter.
Wash the water bucket frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria,
mildew and mold.
To clean the water bucket, follow the steps below:
1.
Remove the water bucket from the unit.
2.
Wash the bucket with clean water and a mild detergent. Rinse the
bucket thoroughly.
3.
Install the water bucket.

IMPORTANT:
On a regular basis
it is required that the pre-filter
be inspected for buildup of
lint, dust and other materials.
A clogged pre-filter can
restrict proper airflow and
cause undue strain on the
mechanical components of
your dehumidifier resulting in
reduced performance and
shorter product lifespan.
